Former President Jair Bolsonaro did, on Saturday (16), in Brasilia, new clinical examinations-the first since Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Court (STF) decreed his house arrest.
According to a medical report released by DF Star Hospital, laboratory and image tests to investigate recent episodes of fever, cough and reflux found remnants of inflammation in the digestive system (esophagus and mucosa that coat the stomach) and lungs.
“The exams have evidenced residual image of two recent lung infections, possibly related to episodes of bronchoaspiration,” says the four professionals who sign the newsletter released this afternoon.
“Endoscopy has shown persistence of esophagitis and gastritis, now less intense, but with the need for continuous drug treatment,” adds the medical staff, prescribing that Bolsonaro should continue to treat reflux, controlling hypertension and observing preventive bronchoaspiration measures.
House arrest
This was the first time the former president left His house, in a gated community of Lago Sul, in Brasilia, since he began to serve the house arrest on the 4th.
In complying with Bolsonaro’s defense request, Minister Alexandre de Moraes established that the former president should return to his condominium within eight hours and present, within 48 hours, a certificate of attendance specifying the procedures performed.
Bolsonaro arrived at the hospital at 9 am and was released at 1:58 pm, having undergone different exams. Since 2018, when he was the target of an attack, Bolsonaro needs periodic medical follow -up due to the consequences of the surgeries he underwent due to the stab she received in the abdomen region and which caused serious injuries to the small and thick intestines.
